What a nice thing to do. I would love to join you but since I am half the country away that just won't be possible. What is being served?

OOO, I'd love to. Thank you for extending the offer! I'll need a private jet to get me there and a hotel room with a deep jaccuzzi! (I miss Japanese tubs SO much. Maybe more than gluteny goodies. Our American tubs(at least the older ones, which is what I've always had) are so shallow and even a petite woman like me can't stretch out and end up with a stiff neck! I've given up baths-don't worry, not bathing! :lol: ) As for the menu, dairy-free and some miracle sugar-free low-carb desserts please. Haven't had a dessert or baked good other than a few slices of bread and a few crackers for nearly 3 months! I'll bet Emeril can make some good seafood! After moving away from California I miss Meyer lemons too! I supose an all American menu featuring regional dishes would be in order for such an occasion.

Woohoo! Even better. :o I don't know what I'd wear! I was thinking that I'd have to appeal to Stacy and Clinton from TLC's What Not To Wear for advice on how to shop when you can't fit into adult size clothing anymore-even petites- and don't want to shop in the teens section and end up looking like a teenager. I could live with looking 27 again but I'll pass on 17.

Well Ka-pow! Or what that thing is he says! It's about time he cooked me something...!

First though things I don't want.

No dead raw fish, and no dead raw cows, and no dead raw anything except veggies thanks.

Hmmm, no gluten, no dairy, no soy, no yeast of course.

Nothing made in a factory by machines with chemical squirting guns and nozzles.

OK, something to eat though. How about a great big steak well done and baked potato with olive oil and salt and pepper on it. And some Waldorfen salad. Maybe some popcorn balls. And a big butterscotch pie with mile high lemon meringue baked on top like my mother used to make. Even If I can't eat it I wouldn't mind looking at one on the table.

Of course since it's an inaugural ball all the waitresses will wear white shirts and black Tux tails with their neon red hot pants. My kitty kat Muffinn will not be left out of course. She will need fresh salmon and some Whiskas Temptation kitty treats and some Safeway brand Priority kitty treats in all the various flavors, served on the floor thank-you!

This is a great idea, that Emeril feller should cook us dinner more often eh? Ka-Pow!

We need some ideas for ice sculptures to decorate the hall also. :rolleyes::)

Thanks Missy'smom! BAM it is!

Oh well, but no BAM today! Looks like the inaugration speech is going on and the food hasn't arrived yet. Guess 'ol Emeril got tied up with other things this year. These things happen I guess. Next inauguration we should probably get our orders in a little sooner eh?

      I don't know if I am getting sufficient Omega Threes. I read about  phosphotidyl choline may cause heart issues. I will have o do further research on heathy Omega 3 supplements or from foods. Is there a blood test that can tell you everything level in your system such as Thiamine, Benfotiamine levels etc? Thanks

      If lectins were my problem, I would react to wheat germ (the highest source of wheat lectins) and beans. I don't. I only react to bread and pasta, which are the highest sources of gluten. Therefore, my issue is wheat-specific (Gluten/ATIs), not a general lectin issue.   I have eaten a supposedly high lectin diet (I say supposedly because lectin content in these foods is greatly reduced by proper cooking and I eat very few of those foods raw, and even then, rarely!!) for years. My health has improved greatly on my whole foods plant forward diet. I have asked all my drs and a registered dietician about my diet, asked if eating such a high amnt of fiber might interfere with the digestion of any other nutrients and the answer has always been NO.     while doing the gluten challenge I did not eat ANY wheat germ (since it doesn't have hardly any gluten, and I was too sick from the bread and pasta to want to eat much anyway) I will NOT put that poison in my body again. That was a horrific experience and if this is what most celiac patients have to deal with, I am very sorry for them I don't care if I have celiac or NCGS I won't intentionally cause myself that much pain and suffering it's not worth it.

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
